As the title says Staff at Fareham, Pontypool, and Bovey given notice of redundancy yesterday.Depots due to be closed by the end of august. The way things are going the rest of the network are just waiting for their payoff too, so much for the great Norbert takeover! What a sad first post for in the days of Swifts it was a buzzing company. Good luck to all involved.

I think we need to get slightly real here, when a company takes another over, they look for savings either before or after, NORMALLY 99.9% BEFORE ■■?

ND have an interest in South Wales, via the EX Sheddick operation, they have an interest in Pompey, and, as I have had 5 pints of Stella, Im not totally on this planet regarding Bovey, so, I cant comment on the south west …

So, anybody getting excited with the french turning up, when they already had a depot in the area, needs to take a “get real” pill :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

Plus, when did you last go past the “old” Swifts depot @ Skegg ■■?

Its a bloody trading estate, FFS :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Remember, that EVERY GRAVY TRAIN HAS A SIDING, never plan for life, when you are employed by anyone of the big boys, they are not that bothered about you EVER :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

The word is that the three depots mentioned carried between them just 2% of the total tonnage of the network. Gloucester’s gonna be busy methinks. :slight_smile:

The Dentressangle french port offices will be comntrolling UK operations shortly because of the fuel subsidies.

Last I heard (before I left) was that network didn’t make any money anyway. Wakefield were in trouble because most of their warehousing was empty. Now this is a bit old but no doubt Nobbies will be looking to sort out stuff like this.
